    Hello BachelorInc,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    I understand that you're unable to listen to music when not connected to Wi-Fi.  This indicates you are using iCloud Music Library, and you have not downloaded the songs for offline listening.  For help with this process please follow the steps below.

     

    Download songs, albums, and playlists to listen to offline

    You can download songs, albums, or playlists to your device so that you can listen to them when you're not connected to the Internet.* You must download songs, albums, or playlists on each device that you want to use for offline listening.

    *You can download music on up to 10 devices. These songs are accessible only during your Apple Music membership.

    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. In the Music app, find the item that you want to download.
    2. Tap the More Options icon   to the right of the song, album, or playlist name.
    3. Tap the Download icon  to the right of the item's artwork. If you see a  instead of the download icon, the item isn't in your iCloud Music Library. Tap the  to add the item to My Music, then tap the download icon to download the item to your device.

    Songs and albums appear under My Music > Library. Playlists appear under My Music > Playlists.

    Take care.
